You Boil The Hell Out Of It.

What Do Fish Say When They Hit a Concrete Wall?

JENNY'S HELPFUL HOUSEHOLD HINTS

PancakeS:

Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle and you'll get perfectly shaped pancakes every time.  Or, better yet, buy the precooked kind you nuke in the microwave for 30 seconds. The hard part is getting them out of the plastic bag.

STAND-UP BORU

Hey Hounders.  As I was perBrusing the Bumpass Gazette this morning I saw this ad an in the classified section that seemed to tell a story:

 NORDIC TRACK:
$300. 00 - Hardly used, call Chubby.

A man was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side. His eyes fluttered open and he said,  
'You're beautiful.' 
Then he fell asleep again.

His wife had never heard him say that before, so she stayed by his side. A few minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said,  
'You're cute.' 
The wife was disappointed because instead of 'beautiful,' it was now 'cute.'

She asked,  
'What happened to beautiful?'

The man replied,  
'The drugs are wearing off.'

How To Wash Boru (A Cat):
1. Put the lid of the toilet up and add 1/8 cup of pet shampoo to the water in the bowl.

2. Pick up Boru (the cat) and soothe him while you carry him towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put Boru (the cat) in the toilet and close the lid. You may need to stand on the lid.

4. Boru (the cat) will self agitate and make ample suds. Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, Boru (the cat) is actually enjoying this.

5. Flush the toilet three or four times. This provides a "power-wash" and rinse".

6. Have someone open the front door of your home. Be sure that there are no people between the bathroom and the front door.

7. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift the lid.

8. Boru (the cat) will rocket out of the toilet, streak through the bathroom, and run outside where he will dry himself off.

9. Both the commode and Boru (the cat) will be sparkling clean.

SUGAR IS SWEET

Hey Hounders,

Homer J. here with a favor to ask of y'all.  One of our blogger BFFs, Sugar, could use some help.  She is in a contest to be Top Dog on a TV station, but she needs to get a lot of votes to win.  So as long as you're voting in the All-Star Shelter challenge, why not take the time to follow Sugar's instructions and vote for her.  You can only vote once a day, so vote everyday.  Sugar is a winner so let's make her one in this contest.  She's kinda cute, isn't she.  Such beautiful face marking.  

Sigh! Ah, gorgeous, simply gorgeous

STAND-UP BORU

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying,  
'Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!' 
After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up.. The teacher said, 
'Do you think you're stupid, Little Johnny?' 
 'No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!' 

* 
The math teacher saw that little Johnny wasn't paying attention in class. She called on him and said,  
'Johnny! What are 2 and 4 and 28 and 44?'  
Little Johnny quickly replied,  
'NBC, FOX, ESPN and the Cartoon Network!'

IS IT DUG, OR IS IT ABBY?

THE WORLD WONDERS.

UP OR DOWN?

MAY WE HAVE YOUR PAWTOGRAPHS, PLEASE?

  WHAT HAPPENED?

Hey Hounders,  Abby (Dabby-Doo) here with some "splaining to do."  But first, do you notice the striking resemblance between me and that dashing movie star Dug from the Disney-Pixar movie "UP?"  Isn't he just dreamy?

Y'all might have noticed that I am wearing the infamous C.O.S. (Cone Of Shame) and it isn't as a tribute to Dug.  I have been wearing it for almost two weeks now.  Seems that while we were having our internet problems we had a back yard brawl involving a significant segment of the pack.

Shelby Belle has been very disagreeable of late and one morning she kinda went berzerko and her and J.E.B decided to take it out on me.  Fortunately mom was home at the time and she quickly broke up the scuffle.  I had been put down on my back in the mud and had quite a few open and bleeding bite wounds.  Mom brought me in and gave me a bath and then she started doctoring me up.

By the time dad got home I was looking a lot better.  I had numerous small wounds on my neck and back but one particularly nasty piercing on my right hind leg inner thigh.  The bleeding had stopped but mom and dad could see inside the skin.  They started me on antibiotics and said I'd be going to the see vet the next morning.  Mom took me to see Doctor Collins at Confederate Ridge Animal Hospital.  Dr. Collins said mom had done the right thing and told mom to keep the piercing clean with saline and to use a cream on it and to continue my antibiotics for 10 days.  I was awarded the C.O.S. because I insisted on licking off the cream and chewing on the hole.  Well, I got to stay in the house as a Princess with Sophie and Patti; a arrangement that I'm sure will continue.  Everything was going GReat and my leg wound is healing up nicely, in fact, it is now closed and scabbed over.  Then last Friday evening, mom noticed a large lump on my back, about the size of a tennis ball.  It hadn't been there Friday morning.  Mom had dad look at it.  Dad determined that it was a fluid sack, probably an abscess from on e of my wounds.  Dad said it felt just like a water balloon.  He said the fact that it got so big so quickly and was just fluid was good, obviously not a tumor.  They decided that mom should try to drain the fluid with a syringe.  Well mom got 4 syringes full of a pinkish watery liquid out of the lump and made it just about totally go away.  The syringes went into the refrigerator in a sealed bag to go along to the vet's with me.  Saturday morning mom took me up to CRAH, this time to see Doctor Newman.  Dr. Newman said that once again mom had done the correct stuff.  She upped my antibiotic from 500mgs to 750mgs.  She shaved all the hair off my back around where my lump had been and she took a scalpel and 'lanced" the lump to drain out all of the remaining fluid.  She said that the antibiotics I had been taking for my leg wound had kept the liquid from being a thick yellow or pink substance.  She put an absorbent pad on the lancing and wrapped a big belly bandage around me.  I wore that until Sunday night when mom and dad took it off and cleaned me up. 

 

I am still draining a small amount of fluid but nothing gross.  I now have a small bandage over my lance and dad says that the drainage seems to have just about stopped.  I'm still on my 750mgs of AB twice a day.  Funny thing is that I've felt fine and acted normally through the entire episode.  Of course I'd easily be able to reach the lance if I didn't have the C.O.S. to inhibit me so that's staying on my head.  Mom and dad call it my hat.  It actually has a few advantages.  

I can completely cover my food bowl and treats with it so that no one else can steal any of my chow.  Mom takes it off of me but only while I'm having my rawhide because I need to hold the chewy with my front paws while I gnaw on it.  Dad says that the C.O.S. needs a rubber bumper around the rim edge because I'm always bumping into him and mom and he says it hurts.

WORDLESS "ABBY'S ABCESS - DON'T FORGET TO VOTE" WEDNESDAY

RUNNING LATE TUESDAY

Hey Hounders,
Good morning Sir/Ma'am.  We hope that you all had an enjoyable weekend and that you took some time to reflect on those who sacrificed their lives for your freedom.  The Bumpass Hounds are all sleeping in this morning.  Their mom is on her way to Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary and their dad had to go to work.  So there wasn't anyone to help with the posting but we don't need help.  We're the U.S. Pentagon Police K-9 Unit.  We're rough, we're tough and we don't take no guff.  Badges?  You say you don't need no stinking badges badges.  Well, we got badges and they're not stinky.  We worked hard to earn those badges and we work hard to keep them.  Don't mess with us.  Radar's buddy, Aldo, is assigned to our unit.  The Bumpasses "Sissy Sarah" is Aldo's handler, or so she thinks.  Actually, Aldo is Sarah's handler and he does a pretty good job with her.  Anyway, we digress, do you know why we stopped you?  Yes, that's right.  You haven't voted yet.  Well, tell you what.  In lieu of issuing you a citation or biting your butt, we'd like you all to just take the time to vote in The Animal Rescue Site All-Star Shelter Challenge.  Now you can vote for whatever your favorite shelter is, BUT our favorite shelter is Almost Heaven Golden Retriever Rescue and Sanctuary and it would make us all very happy if you could remember that when you're voting.  So as long as you vote, we won't be having to take any "official" action against you and we'll let you go with a warning this time.  But let's not let it happen again.  Remember, it's your civic responsibility to vote daily from each P.C. you can access legally.  Now just read the below information and sign at the bottom of the form; oh, forget the signing thing - just read the below citation and VOTE. NOW.  Have a nice day and please drive carefully; the life you save may be your own.
